Statement:
In Blade Runner, humans feel the aching pain of emotions they don't want. Replicants feel the painful ache for emotions they don't have. Writing about people is always emotions and pain . . . either the presence or the lack of it. When I write, I try to see things from all sides. I watch the story unfold in front of me like a film. I walk around in it, taste it, smell it, feel it and then write. Rendering a believable image in the mind can be as much about writing the shadows as writing the light.

Andre Kertesz Image - Budapest, 1914This is the fifth in a series of short pieces inspired by the accompanying images. At some point along my journey, I was given a book of Andre Kertesz' black and white photographs. Some of them spoke to me, urging their untold stories to be heard. I simply tried to listen.

This is a photoshopped image I created one Halloween, as I developed this knock-off hybrid character as the inspiration for my costume for a costume party.
